I don't own Horse Ranch (yet...) but I did a test with Cottage Living. If @EA_Cade can confirm it works the same as devouring chickens, it does not seem to happen autonomously. I created a farm with a cow and a bunch of chickens (and no fence) in the middle of an Oasis Springs neighborhood. I then filled the surrounding 4 lots with 8 werewolves each, all with the voracious hunger ability (ability to devour "objects") and no fridges. I played for a Sim week and they left my animals alone, though I heard them howling in the neighborhood. Then I tried to force the issue by inviting a few werewolves for a stay over during the full moon. My Sim was not happy about it, but the animals were fine. The only way I had a chicken devoured was by adding one of the werewolves to the household and directly telling her to do so.

@alanmichael1  @ReneHollyDesign1  Can you click meetoo so QA can track this better?

Hi @gooochyeee,

This isn't a bug, it's as designed I'm afraid.

[PipMenace]

They can eat chickens too. 😁

Never tried cows or llamas…

[ReneHollyDesign1]

Whoa the game has taken a very dark turn. LOL So tempted to play a werewolf to test it out and also afraid to! Blood makes me queasy, even fake blood.

[gooochyeee]

@EA_Cade Im not quite sure what to say. That took a bit of a darker turn. Maybe a way to turn this off as it literally eating and killing my sheep goats and chickens is rather morbid, guess I wont use it (also I hope it cant be done autonomously)

[PipMenace]

Pretty sure it’s only with the voracious hunger ability unlocked, and I’ve never seen it happen autonomously? Unless the goats & sheep work differently than the chickens.

Edit: There’s no blood. It’s the same animation as when they eat a chair or something. Again, this is at least with chickens, but I assume sheep & goats would work the same way.

As long as werewolves don’t visit my farm in Chestnut Ridge or Henford-on-Bagley automously and autonomously eat my livestock… 🤷🏻‍♀️
